Hunnum, Roman fort in Northumberland, England
The rectangular fort of Hunnum stretches 460 feet by 410 feet, featuring four main gates aligned with cardinal directions along Hadrian's Wall.
Construction of the fort began between 122 and 126 AD under Emperor Hadrian's orders to establish a defensive line across northern Britain.
The fort housed the Ala I Pannoniorum Sabiniana cavalry regiment, which transferred from Arbeia fort during the third century to maintain border security.
The B6318 Military Road crosses through the fort site, providing direct access to visitors interested in exploring the Roman military architecture.
The fort contains multiple internal bath-houses, a rare feature as most Roman forts positioned their bathing facilities outside their defensive walls.
